Introduction, Crosslin Midwife Account Records, Coffee County1
Contributed by: Steve Carson
These are Crosslin and closely Crosslin-related records from the book "Happenings on Crosslin Branch" by Ethel Hamby Mahan. Pages 13-78 are the midwife account records of Polly Crosslin and her daughter, Nancy Rosanne (Crosslin) Hamby. The records are presented below in two sets.
Note that the word "debtor" is misspelled "detter" throughout. Also Polly varies how she spells her own name during the course of the records between Crosslin and Crossland.
